• Satellite L20-101: Question on battery & BIOS password

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  I have a Toshiba laptop satellite L20-101, so can u please answer my questions below.

  Is it better for the battery life to always stay connected to an electrical outlet when possible, or charge the battery and then use it until it needs to be recharged again? I mean what is best for the life of the battery, and I need to know if stay connected to AC power affects the battery life.

  How can I set a password for the laptop not windows? Because when I enter BIOS setup and set a password for user and supervisor. He just ask me about this password when I try to login to Setup again, but it is still continuous to the windows boot without asking me about a password.

  What should I do?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  The fact is that you can charge/discharge the battery about 500 times.
  After this period, the battery will lose performance.
  More recent laptops and batteries use the latest technology of load.
  But I recommend to remove the battery, if you work on the DC for a long time.
  In this case, you can extend the life of the battery and the performance

  If you want to set the BIOS password and it should appear at the beginning, you must activate the password at startup option in the BIOS.

• Satellite L20 - drivers for Vista available?

  Hello

  I use Satellite L20 with Windows XP. Now, I want to improve my OS to Vista/Windows 7. I've seen several people have not found drivers for L20. If I install vista on my L20 (PSL2XL-01R007), the drivers will be available?

  Please help me.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  > Now I want to upgrade my OS to Vista/Windows 7
  You want to upgrade to Vista * or * Windows 7?

  > I've seen several people have not found drivers for L20
  I think that it s depending on whether Toshiba provides drivers for Vista or Windows 7 for Satellite L20. These drivers are usually placed on the official page to download driver of Toshiba.
  Satellite L20 PSL2XL seems to be an Asian model, so I checked the Toshiba Asia page, but there are just available Windows XP drivers. The European page also shows only XP drivers :(

  This means that only XP is supported, but you can try to get all the drivers yourself on external pages. Probably, you will find all the drivers you need. Here are some pages where you can perform a search:
  [www.intel.com]
  [www.realtek.com]
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite L20: MS Excel add - Analysis ToolPak

  I have a Satellite L20 provided with Microsoft Office. I want to install the Analysis ToolPak add on, but it can not locate it on any of the provided disks.

  Clues?

  Thank you, Doug

  Hello Doug

  Your device comes with MS Office with Office OneNote2003. It is not the same. Because of this you don't find anything on the supplied CD.

• Satellite L20 modem does not work in some cases

  Hello

  a friend bought a Satellite L20 last summer. In January, she started working on the Internet on an irregular basis, but has known trouble. So I looked after the laptop last week:

  When you try to connect to the Internet connect to the provider sometimes fails. If she finally gets the connection, it often occurs the message that the page could not be found, and only after clicking on the button "Refresh" the page several times finally appears. But oddly enough, every time I unplugged the power supply connection become noticeable better.

  (Win XP; pilot/diagnosis: no problem arose; provider works very well on different computers)

  Unfortunately, he had no chance to check the connection here with a different material. I can't say if the latest driver is installed, but think that Yes, because of the date of purchase. So, my guess is that the power cable is not adequately protected. But if so how? Or what else could be the reason for the unexpected behavior of the modem?

  Thanks for your suggestions!

  Hello

  I heard a similar problem with another model of Satellite. Solution was to install the Satellite A110 modem driver. Please don t ask me why, but test it.

  The modem driver, you can find HERE

  Good luck!

• Satellite L20-214: Does recover CD contains the Win XP Pro

  Hello

  I have a PC laptop toshiba satellite L20-214, it came with windows xp pre-installed 2, so I don't have a CD of Windows XP2.
  I want to format and reload windows XP2.

  The recovery of the supplied product disc with the laptop there Windows XP2 on it?

  Yes, the restore CD contains the operating system that was installed on the laptop, all the drivers of Toshiba and tools as well as other software like Norton antivirus, Win DVD, etc.

  Then you can just boot from the recovery CD and could install from the recovery CD.
  But note; the recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive. So, you can lose all the files.

• Replacing screen on Satellite L20 182

  My monitor satellite L20-128 is broken, so I need to replace it with a new one, I get the same. I mean with the same number (LQ150X1LHS2 / B 5XD24863), or there are other choices?

  Hello

  Generally, you should always buy the parts recommended by the manufacturer of the laptop!
  Then you could be 100% sure that the part (display) is right.

  To my knowledge, the laptop uses a 15.0 "1024 x 768 TFT screen.
  It is important that you buy the same size 15.
  The resolution is not very import.
  I m sure that the graphic card supports a higher resolution than 1024 x 768 and if you go to buy a screen that supports a higher resolution, you will be able to define the display on a higher resolution.

• Satellite L20: connection S-video TV - no signal

  Thank you very much to all those who can help me :)

  Hello

  The laptop supports an ATI graphics card?
  If yes-> go graphics card-> properties Advanced settings-> and select the view tab.
  There you can turn on the TV set.

  But as far as I know that this can only be done after the s-video cable has been connected to the laptop and TV set.

  By the way: on some TV s it s important to enable the Svideo option

• LINUX and satellite L20

  Hello
  I have a TOSHIBA Satellite L20 - 182 notebook (PSL2XE) and I want to change my OS from Windows to Ubuntu Linux.
  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a drivers for my laptop that runs on Ubuntu Linux.

  So my question is - where can I find the drivers for my laptop to Ubuntu?

  Concerning

  Linux not is not supported on laptops Toshiba especially not on laptops shipped with Microsoft operating systems pre-installed, so that you will not be able to find the drivers on a single place.
  I recommend you to visit a few Linux forums and chat with others who have installed Linux on Toshiba laptops.

  I guess you can get useful advice and maybe links where to download the drivers you need.

• Satellite L20-183 broken BIOS - Linux

  I have a problem with may Satellite L20-183. When I try to install the operating system Linux (Mandriva Linux 2006 official) after checking the HDD, cd... I see a broken 'BIOS' massage and only what I can do is to restart the computer.
  Why is this happening and what can I do to solve this problem.

  Hello

  I'm don't know if you know, but Toshiba doesn't support the Linux operating system.
  In this case there is no information on these issues of Linux on Toshiba laptops.
  I have a tip for you. Why not install windows on your device and use a Knoppix Linux? You n t need to install Linux on the HARD drive. It starts from the live DVD and you can work with Linux as with Suse Linux.

  Good bye

• Replicator port or docking station for Satellite L20

  Hello
  Can someone tell me if a Replicator port or docking station, there are satellite pro L20 model?
  I searched around, and every time I check the specifications of compatibility, it is usually a Toshiba laptop or 2 and often some of the satellites 'L' series, but no mention of the L20.

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Hello

  I agree with Akuma.
  You may not use a dock under Satellite L20.
  If you take a glance at the bottom of the device, you will not find a necessary home slot that would be needed to connect the docking station.

  But of course you can use some sort of port connected to the USB port replicator.

  See you soon

• Can I use SATA HDD on Satellite L20-183?

  I have a satellite L20-183 with a P - ATA hard drive connector. Is it possible to change the connector to a SATA hard? Where can I find such a connector for my model?

  Thank you.

  When you open the cover of the HARD drive, you will see there is not a lot of room inside and behind the HARD drive, there is a single cm only. You need this place for HDD disconnect with this adapter so I think there is no way to put the HARD drive inside or out of the place.

  In any case, I'm 100% sure that these updates is not possible.
